Valitor, a leader in cross-border acquiring services and international merchant and card solutions, recently received validation of compliance against the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
Valitor already has ISO 27001 certification for all of its operations and services to retailers, banks, savings banks and card holders. Together, these two security standards form a sound foundation on which to build the company’s security affairs for the future.
The company’s information security policies are based on laws and regulations on personal privacy, the EU’s directives on personal privacy and relevant security standards ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. At the same time, the policies fully accord with the rules of the Data Protection Authority as regards the security of personal information and the guidelines issued by the Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority (FME) on the operation of the IT systems of parties subject to supervision.
